[Way too early 2014 Draft Talk]

Man, if somehow Barr fell down to us I would shiva blast.

[Colts sign cornerback Allen Chapman]

I have always thought Price would do well which is why I am shocked he did not get drafted. Kid was really coachable throughout his college career, but his position at best would be 5th CB and ST.

[Colts sign cornerback Allen Chapman]

This thread took a turn for the worse lol

[WR Titus Young arrested... yet again]

I guess he is better than Calvin at one thing...being a knucklehead.

[A. Q. Shipley traded]

For what it's worth, look at Samsons tape from Miami and Oakland, he was a pretty good center...he played last year hurt, which is why his play was down.

 

Shipley was nothing more than average at best, and that's his ceiling. Samson has higher potential as does Holmes.

 

Trade a backup center and it's as if the world collapsed down in Indy.

[A. Q. Shipley traded]

If one of the two (Shipley/Samson) weren't cut or traded I would be more Pi**ed off that we used a pick on a center in the 4th when there were other players that I thought would have been better selections. At least they are committing to their FA signing and draft pick, all the while getting something for a UDFA.

[A. Q. Shipley traded]

Oh noooooo we lost our franchise back-up center!!!!

[Hold up....Donald Brown]

Honestly, our RB corps are below average, at best. Ballard gets what is blocked for him, Damnit Don is always hurt, Williams is TBD. 

[You can take any 3 players in the league and add them to your team. Which 3 players do you take?]

C.J. Spiller

 

AJ Green

 

Von Miller

 

Alternate picks:

 

Muhammed Wilkerson

 

Demaryious Thomas

 

Percy Harvin

[DC Council may push Washington Redskins into 'Washington Redtails']

I mean, if the Indians are fine with it...

[Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon suspended for 4 games.]

What a turd salad.

[Colts have traded Jerry Hughes for Bills LB Kelvin Sheppard]

Watched quite a few Buffalo games and despite Kelvin starting those games, his name is hardly mentioned. Seems to be a money saving trade while adding some backup depth possibly.

[Could We Make Another Impact Trade.]

If we traded Nevis for a 4th then I will expect my dog to start talking to me in spanish.

[Rotoworld's Draft Analysis]

I'd rather have doubters than analysts blowing sunshine up these prospects rear.

[Media Grades on the Colts 2013]

Neither did Kevin Zeitler

 

I am just pointing out what TV analysts look at as compared to the whole picture.

[Media Grades on the Colts 2013]

Considering Thornton could not block 1on1 in passing drills at the off-season bowl games, I am not shocked.

[Media Grades on the Colts 2013]

What I think a lot of analysts are misinterpreting with the Colts draft is this. These players are not the play-making, sexy type of picks but what these players do is help out the team and to me are an extension of last years draft. 
 

Werner: helps out the defense in setting the edge, helps out the run and most importantly helps out our pass rush which benefits our defensive backs

 

Thornton & Holmes: Helps out Luck and Ballard the most

 

Hughes: Bit of a project, at best will be rotational guy this year. Hopefully helps out the run stop unit.

 

Boyett: Probably a special teamer this year, learns behind Bethea for a year, maybe steps in as a 3rd or 4th safety. 

 

Williams: Gives us a speed element that we did not have in the RB corps when Brown got hurt, can add to our return group as well.

 

Cunningham: Blocking TE at a cheap rate.

 

All of these picks address needs that we had, that were not strongly established in FA. It's a solid draft (B- to B) but time will tell on it.

[Media Grades on the Colts 2013]

CBS: B

The Colts took a pair of longtime Pac-12 contributors in USC center Khaled Holmes and Oregon safety John Boyett, each of whom should have a chance to push for playing time as rookies. However, the most intriguing pick from Indianapolis on Saturday could be Nevada running back Kerwynn Williams, whose speed and versatility should get him on the field in some capacity, be it for kick returns or in the backfield.

Resident UCLA fan, shocked Price did not get selected in the 5th-7th rounds. 

[the official UDFA thread]

Sorry, I meant the Arizona WR Buckner , oops. Isn't Juron Criner from Arizona too?

 

He is with the Cards now.

[the official UDFA thread]

Looks like Adrian Bushell and Johnny Adams still seem to be out there. Is WR Juron Criner still out there?

 

He signed with the Raiders, last year.

[the official UDFA thread]

Dang, really wanted Kovacs. Would be a solid special teamer in my opinion.

Highlight vids make everyone look good.

[Colts select Khaled Holmes, C from USC (4th Round)]

Sign Ahmad Bradshaw.
